Understanding TIT Issues
Typical TIT Opening Challenges
Microsoft Train Simulator Not Present
When trying to open your TIT file, you get the error "Can't Open TIT File Type". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Train Simulator is not installed on - . The OS won't know what to do with your TIT file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens TIT files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Microsoft Train Simulator is Out-of-Date
Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Train Simulator won't support your Train Simulator Track Interactive Table File file. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Train Simulator installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Train Simulator Track Interactive Table File file was created by a newer Microsoft Train Simulator than what you have installed.
Tip: Right-clicking on your TIT, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening TIT files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Train Simulator installed on your computer.
